If no-one had told us it was a tropical storm , we would have just thought it was a bad afternoons weather.

Ernesto was a hurricane - then a Tropical Storm- but became a Tropical Depression and the centre was well to the East of Orlando.

Don't forget when they made the decision to close schools etc Ernesto was a Hurricane and the forcast track was to go into the Gulf, pick up speed and then come back inland and cross Florida close to Orlando.

Better safe than sorry!

8am here in Orlando, and it looks like it is going to be lovely sunny day - a lot of rain overnight which the plants and grass needed, but nothing more to report - a taster of what to expect when I come home on Saturday I expect[msnwink]
